Not possible until we have bug 1029951 fixed.

I have reduced the scope of bug 1029951 to Latin IME dictionaries only. After that lands, if we change the config of nightly builds to

GAIA_KEYBOARD_PRELOAD_DICT_LAYOUTS=(some layout we want to preload dict) GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS=* make

we will ship all layouts.

The problem is that "*" will also ship all Asian IMEs, and they will always build with their dictionary included. So to fit into the same disk space we will have to ship less Latin IME dictionaries. Not sure if that's acceptable since the current preload layouts (w/ dictionaries) are "en,pt-BR,es,de,fr,pl,zh-Hans-Pinyin,en-Dvorak".

Also, switching config with GAIA_KEYBOARD_PRELOAD_DICT_LAYOUTS imply shipping bug 1029951, something not yet for production until UX said so.

I have filed bug 1128396 to list what we need before enabling all "latin"-imengine based layouts on Nightly. Asian layouts still needs their dictionaries preloaded and we would attack that on other depending bugs (not filed yet).

Getting close!

Actually, not Latin-IMEngine based layouts, but all layouts w/o a dictionary or doesn't need a preloaded dictionary.

And also what are solutions (automatically solution-  not manually flashing!)?

I am not really following your question here, but if you are asking the proposed solution to bug 1145991, yes, the solution is here, i.e. getting all layouts shipped and have dictionaries available on CDN.

The next Nightly build will include bug 1029951 if everything goes smoothly. If you can't wait you can pull Gaia repo manually and do |APP=keyboard make install-gaia|, but that would require a permission refresh which can be complex.

A few Asian IMEs and Handwriting pad will be worked on under this bug... but not immediately. (assign myself as backlog of this work)

Unassign myself due to project changes.
